The Journal also encourages submissions related to interactions of bone with other organ systems, including cartilage, tendon and other connective tissues, endocrine, muscle, fat, neural, vascular, gastrointestinal, hematopoietic, and immune systems. Particular attention is placed on the application of artificial intelligence and experimental studies to clinical practice.
